Chapter 43: His FrustrationHE was driving undeniably fast, her furious face was in his head. All he saw was the road. While his hand was gripping tight the steering wheel. He couldn’t shake off words from his head. He was confused why he felt that way, he felt scared when he saw her disappointed and betray face. The guilt was eating him up.He got into Ben’s house and went to his bathroom. He washed his face with cold water multiple times. He could get enough and kept washing his face. Until he took a long breath. “She needs me, I know.” Then her cousin Fred came into his mind. He’d surely help. He thought, he saw how worried he was when she was abducted. He wiped his face and ran out to his car. But then stopped when he reached the doorway when he remembered that he didn’t know where to find him. “Holy Crap.” He saw a car approaching and saw his cousin, Ben. He walked back into the house and sat on his couch. “How did it go?” Ben asked him the moment he saw him on his co
Chapter 44: The Trio They stopped for a few seconds and, “HA! HAHAHAHAHA. You what? Love her? Can you even hear what you are saying, young man?” Her sarcastic remark made him feel insulted. “I know what I am saying. I don’t care if you believe me or not.”“Well, then keep your heart out of this ‘cause she doesn’t need that. What she needs is only peace of mind not a war of love. If this is a love story, this is where you broke her heart for betraying her.” And she even pushed his chest using her pointing finger. “You’re not getting the point! I was investigating to help her, I’ve seen her cry and wrecked. I know it was because of her past so I thought I could help her by giving justice to her parent's death. But then this happened, I got all those pieces of evidence easily and it was stolen from me, now they are using it against her with my name on it.” Her eyes were staring at his while he was explaining, making sure he wasn’t lying. She put her gun down and looked down. “Yo
Chapter 45: Work Mode As she opened the room, Ben was standing by the doorway and looking at her. He steps back and lets her in. She pulled her shirt down to straighten it before walking in with a serious expression. He then closed the door and turned off the lights. “Why do you have to turn off the lights?” She asked in annoyance. And he pointed to his computer, it was now glowing. Since all of them had knowledge about hacking especially Lora, Ben let them use his other computers. “Benjamin Leonardo,” he introduced himself and offer a handshake. “Loraly De Jesus.” She knew how to be professional and she saw him being like that so she accepted the handshake. Ben was in the middle while Loraly sat on his right and Nick sat on his left. “As for now, we all had her personal information and basic details. Unless you know something that could up that could be useful.” Ben said and it was obvious that he was talking to Lora. Even if it was Nick who was desperate to work on it. He ha
Chapter 46: Suicide AttemptFera’s POV“I am their daughter, I am not the one that will ruin their name.” She whispered as she fell into sleep. In her head, the image of her mother being loved by people cause she save lives kept flashing. People are sending gifts, some are inviting her to their wedding. A lot of them donate a huge amount of money which she gave to the different foundations, making her an angel to everyone. She was indeed kind and sophisticated. ‘Smile didn’t give me that look.’ she whispered in her ears. It was her birthday party and everyone was there, everyone she doesn’t know. After a jaw-numbing smile after an hour of picture taking, she was left at the corner. Her parents were nowhere to be found, they were entertaining their guests when it was her birthday. It did look like a birthday party but it wasn’t. It was business stuff, different negotiations happened.While her father was somewhere with his business partners, they run the party and the party was
Chapter 47: LeadBen’s POVBen choose to stay out of the room, he was watching them through the glass of the door. He watched how worried they are. His eyes fell on his cousin who lost his cool and was mad at the girl lying on the hospital bed, who he also love the most.‘This man will never think twice to share his knowledge about this with her.’ He thought and then he turned to the girl who was holding Fera’s other hand. ‘No one could ever read every Fuentes and their trusted people. Knowing she was the most trusted secretary of Mr. Fuentes, she wouldn’t stand where she was standing for nothing.’ He calculated her every move, small but he couldn’t estimate her experience.He got his phone out and messaged Nick that he was heading out. He randomly choose a room and got in there, he removed his pajamas, and he was wearing ready-to-go clothes inside. Then he had thrown it into the trash bin in that room. He waited until someone got in, he acted as if he was busy on his cellphone.
Chapter 48: Probable WitnessBen’s POVHe checked his phone to check for any updates from Nick. But he saw nothing so he went to the hospital security system and watched where he was. Then he saw Nick out of the room with Lora. “I missed something.” He mumbled and searched the footage of the previous hours and saw the footage of Fera waking up. ‘Scared that the killer might die?’ The first words she spoke since she woke up stopped them. ‘Ironic.’ She even commented when she heard no response. ‘What the hell are you talking about? No one is a killer, I know you didn’t do that.’ Nick took a step closer and tried to hold her hand but she moved it away. ‘Miss Fera, how are you feeling? I know this is hard but I am doing everything I can to get you out of this situation. I’m sorry you have to be in here.’ Lora said with a straight back and even lower her head to show respect. ‘No need, Lora. You have worked enough for my family. Do yourself a favor and leave it. I have prepared
Chapter 49: ReymondoNick’s POV“Who are you?” A deep voice of a man resounded followed by a faint footstep. Nick's frustration rose, ‘If he was just silent, we wouldn’t be heard right away.’ He mentally cursed Ben. His eyes widen when he suddenly stood and showed himself. Nick didn’t have the chance to grab him. “Good afternoon, sir. I am actually here to arrange a little survey. We received a report that this house was abandoned by an unidentified owner. My bad, I am Albert Temosa.” He heard him say so he was left with no choice but to stand and act calm. He saw him extend a hand for a handshake to a man that was in his forties holding a forty-five caliber gun.The old man didn’t look either convinced or suspicious to them, he looked at Ben straight without expression and accepted his hand. “Here’s my ID,” he even showed a fake ID while Nick looked around the house and check everything. He walked to them and extended his hand to Reymondo. “Kingston,” he only said and he acc
Chapter 50: Nana FellyFera’s POvThe annoying beep from her side kept her awake, she turned to the door when she heard it crack open. A nurse got in with her casual smile to check up on her. She shifted her gaze to the wall and let her do anything she want. The fear in her aura was beyond evident so she decide not to look at her. “Good evening, Miss Fera. How are you feeling?” She manage to maintain a calm voice but Fera didn’t bother answering. “I heard you don’t want to welcome any visitor,” she added. “So?”“I just thought that it might help you feel better if you could talk to someone special to your heart, their care would make you feel better.” She looked at her and stared at her fine small face. Her pinkish thin lips and beautiful eyes with perfect soft lashes. Her uniform fits well, she a typical neat girl, she was petite with average height. “Their care is a burden to me.” The shock on her face made her want to roll her eyes, ‘why does she have to look like an a
